You have got to be kidding me. I play hockey because I get to be with my own kind and I enjoy the game. This is our sport and I wont let it be taken over by sub-human crossbreeds. Some of us know what is happening at our local rinks and are using other skills to defeat them and make them not want to play the game of the nordic warriors. This is OUR game. They cannot defeat us....

Agreed. Having played my entire life at a number of levels, they can try as hard as they want to crack the sport, but I believe when all is said and done, most simply lack the type of athleticism and finesse needed to compete in this sport.

I think it's safe to say hockey will be primarily white for a long time to come, simply because it is played in so many white nations, just off the top of my head, the countries that contribute the most players to the NHL aside from Canada and the US, in somewhat of an order: Russia, Sweden, Finland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, Belarus, Latvia, Ukraine, Poland, Austria, Switzerland, Norway, France, Denmark, even Slovenia has a player in the NHL now (and a good one in Anze Kopitar of the LA Kings). There is a trend here!

As was mentioned above, aside from Soccer (too slow and boring for me personally), Hockey is already the most diverse sport on the planet!

Last week, I was arguing with my boyfriend about this. I said of course the NHL actively seeks out more non-white players, and he didn't believe it. Granted, they'll always want to take the best players first, but if it comes to a choice between two equally qualified players, one white and one not, they'll ALWAYS opt to have the token minority.

They already have a few of course, the one I remember growing up the most was Eldon "Pokey" Reddick of the Winnipeg Jets, and of course there was Grant Fuhr (who I always thought was overrated), thought it was a novelty then, and it certainly hasn't changed much in the 25+ years I have been watching the NHL.

The one plus side (if you can call it that) is most of the minorities in the sport are not your ghetto "muds" that dominate the NBA, but generally Canadian or far northern US blacks having grown up around mostly whites, hence keeping a check on most TNB.

Back in my playing days (I do rec leagues now, after sustaining an injury some years ago), I have played with many nationalities, and I can say that by and large, most hockey players I have known are closet WN's, even in liberal Canada, the players are proud that their sport is white. Most won't say it out loud, but get a few beers in most of them....

But the best are the Russians, Czechs and Finns! They aren't shy sharing their opinion with you!

1) Heredity and being female are two key factors identifying those
individuals at risk for the development of osteoporosis. Hereditary risk
factors include race: Notably, Caucasians and Asians are characterized
by low peak bone mass at maturity. Caucasian women, particularly those
of northern European ancestry, experience the highest incidence of
osteoporosis-related bone fracture. American women of African heritage are characterized by the highest peak bone mass and
lowest incidence of osteoporotic fracture, despite the fact that they
have low calcium intake.

A. "Normal" Spirometry Lung function increases rapidly with growth during
childhood and adolescence, reaches a peak sometime between the ages of 18
and 35, and then begins to slowly decline, even in healthy persons (29).
Persons who grow relatively tall also have relatively large lungs when
compared to those who are shorter in stature. Women on average, have lungs
that are about 20% smaller than men of the same height and age (30). For a
given standing height, African-American men, on the average, have longer
legs than Caucasian men, and a correspondingly shorter trunk size; and
therefore slightly smaller lungs (29,31,32,33) explaining most of the
differences between predicted values for Caucasian and African-American men.
All of the above factors mean that to optimally interpret spirometry results
(observed values), you must first know the employee=s age, height, gender,
and race or ethnicity

The study also found that after the age of 5, black males face a 12 to 15 times higher risk of drowning in swimming pools than whites. While the research doesn't explain the disparity, the authors' theories include differences in swimming abilities, in opportunities to take swimming lessons and in safety conditions in pools where blacks and whites swim.

Non - Whites in the NHL is of no concern, regardless of how bad Jew Gary Bettman pushes it.

What does bother me, is why make it an issue? I can think only to attract more non-whites to games. In the end, its always $$$

But blacks are not geared for this sport. The only reason we see a few these days, is because the last 10-15 yrs N America is being flooded so bad with non-whites. Hockey back in the 70-80s was flawless.

Baseball/Football/Basketball - those are black sports.

NHL is like MMA ( Mixed Martial Arts) by were you need to be more then one dimensional. There was a time in hockey you could be, and they called you a goon. An ideal role for most blacks who could hold their balance on two blades. But now, guys like Brashear, Worrell, LaRaque all have no roles.

Unlike equal opportunity, the best man for the job plays which means the nhl talent stays 99% white be it North American or from Europe.

The only non-whites I see with talent currently are Iginla, and Cheechoo. Both very good, but not elites. The rest of the non whites (maybe a dozen) are bench warmers.

Push diversity if you will, but the arena music stays with rock, the fans show class, and the players have skill. There is no stupid dancing after goals, no bling on players, and no wiggers in stands. Its a cold game, for rugged and tough whites. Asains are too small, and black lack the skills.

NHL will always be what gets me through winter. Oh, speaking of things, the all star game was yesterday. One has only to look at the players on both teams to say - enough said!

Come summer, we have the other all white saving entertainment of NASCAR. Two things I feel non whites have no interest, role, or smarts for.

Just wait till all of these Urban diversity programs start pumping out their graduates in ten years time. All it will take is for one good black guy to skate really fast and be a decent a scorer and it will all be over. The press will laud him for breaking down barriers, the Tiger Woods treatment will turn on in full effect. And their will be good black hockey players, don't delude yourselves.

Big money and lots of effort is being spent in making blacks a part of hockey and it will come to fruition.

No fear here from "hockey in the hood." It's total diverse nonsense that will never catch. Hockey is a white mans sport,period.

This minority garbage is just a preemptive strike before the "racism" accusations start flying.

Bettman is your typical jew NBA lawyer who doesn't quite absorb the game or it's traditions. Leshawn from Brooklyn has no interest in hockey,nor will he ever, no matter how much equipment he is given for free from Bettman. The only thing I hear from inner city animals about hockey is when they make fun of it and rip it.

Hockey is a bastion for many people. It's a game of skill and grace that was developed on frozen ponds in serene white neighborhoods. It's our sport. They could'nt infiltrate it even if they wanted too.

I respect your opinion, just can't see it. Iginla was a 50 goal scorer, and for a little bit, what looked to be a true superstar. But there was no extra hype, no ceral boxes for him.

I do agree, there will be more 'good' blacks like him or Anson Carter. But none will change the face of the game like Orr, Gretzky, Lemeiux, Jagr, and so many others.
The current future is very white, er bright with Crosby, Ovechin, Staal, and many more to keeping the glory ours.

There is too much class, respect, and work ethic for black to want to be in this game. Besides, I think most hate the cold..lol

Plus I think there is more then one 'Sean Avery' in the NHL. Guys who openly slur often and loudly. Because its a mans sport, guys are not so fast at running and reporting it like a baby. They just... fade away....
